Abstract
WE have been studying the carbonate – hydroxide ion exchange, on the strong base resin ‘Amberlite IRA-400’ (manufactured by Rohm and Haas Company and supplied by Messrs.

The following figures show the results of bringing the resin in the carbonate form into equilibrium with various sodium hydroxide solutions.
